Community Solar Power Projects

Community solar power projects, also known as community solar gardens or solar cooperatives, allow multiple individuals, businesses, or organizations to share the benefits of a single solar energy system. These shared solar systems are typically installed on land owned by someone else, such as a municipality, school district, or private property owner, and can include rooftop or ground-mounted solar panels.

Benefits for Participants​

Individual Benefits​

  • Reduced electricity costs through lower rates from the utility company
